rim problem???

i just install my rim like a month ago and since then i always drive slow just the speed limit,,and last night i went to tgc meet and i go like 80 mph and my steering wheel become shaking i dont know y and when i slow down there is no more shaking,,,i never have prob with this before with my stock rim,,
by the way i have 17x7 rim and 225/45/17 tires

get your tires balanced. that's most likely it

Yeah what he said.

yap

how much do you guys think the balance will cost me??

A generic Pep Boys type spot use computerized alignment which would be around $70. The good news is those type places usually have a coupon you can print online. I would say to rotate your wheels (if you haven't done so in a few thousand miles), then go to the shop. that way, you're tires (tread wear) and wheels (alignment) are good

balancing at my job (sears auto center) is about $13 per tire

sorry for too much question.. what is hubcentric rim???is it hard to install???thank you so much

these are hubcentric rings http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/373080...C_RING_TOP.jpg
they basically go in the center of the wheel where the wheel goes onto the bub of your car. You just need the right diameter and thickness to solve your problem

I will x2 on these my Konigs did the same thing around 60 before I got rings now its smooth.

The reason for hubcentric rings is because you have after market rims they are made to fit the hubs of most cars out there on the market so when you install them without the rings you make them lug centric hoping that the wheel is balanced correctly. That is rarely the case the hub centric rings will allow you to have the rims sit on the hub so that when you put the lugs in the wheel is already centered and balanced.

if i dont have that hub centric ring for a month coz i just notice,,,im i damaging my rim or my hub???

my old rims did this but it was because of a bubble on my sidewall of one of the tires. Rode smooth slow but when I went faster it shook like crazy.

my whole front end shakes when i drive fast but i think its my tires
